Art Collector: Pull Focus interviews for Sydney Contemporary

,

In the absence of the annual Sydney Contemporary Art Fair at Carriageworks thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, Art Collector magazine has been inviting writers to sit down with artists who are participating in the Fair’s virtual edition to chat about one specific work. I was excited to have the chance to talk with artists Karen Black and Mason Kimber and my (very animated…) conversations with them are below. I don’t think I have a career in television journalism ahead of me (the ratio of thrilling : terrifying too razor thin apart from anything else!) but I will always say yes to the chance to sit down with someone and unpick why and how they do what they do.

Apologies for the lack of subtitles on the films (you can turn on closed captions if you watch them in YouTube.)
